v Printers Dream.

A Printer sat in his office chair his
boots were patched and his coat thread
bare his face looked weary and worn
with care. While sadly thinking OF
business debts, old Morpheus slowly
round him crept, and before he knew
the soundly slept sleeping he dream
ed that he was dead, from trouble and
toll his spirit had fled, and that not
even a'cow-b bell tolled for the peaceful
rest OF his cow-hide soul. AS he wan
dered among the shades, the smoke
and scorch OF lower Hades, the smoke
shortly observed an iron door that
creakingly swung on its hinges ajar,
but the entrance was crossed by a red
hot bar, and Satan himself stood peep
ing out and watching for travellers
thereabout, and thus to the passing
printer spoke, and with growing
voice the echoes awoke: "Come in,
my dear, it shall cost you nothing and
never fear this is the place where |
cook the ones who never pay their
subscription sums, for though in life
they may escape, they will find when
dead it is too late. will show you
the place where l comb their heads

and if of refreshments they only thinl
there's boiling water for them to drinl

they don't like fire ri sew up thei
t mouths with red-hot wire, and then
dear sir, you should see them squirn
while | roll them over and cook to
turn" With these last words tn

Work on the new railroad is still be-

past week they have had some deep
cutting to do, and they have not APP
parently advanced as rapidly as they
did at first when the distractions
were not SO great.
We understand that Maj. r, T. Har-

The Three C's Railroad KiIl
PASSES Both Houses.

We take the following from the
Richmond State of the 9Th instant
The Senate bill granting certain
privileges to the Charleston, Cincin-
cinnat and Chicago Railroad Compa-
ny came up in the House tu day on
its engroSsment This is the bill
which Senator Rhea made such light
against in the Senate, but that body
passed it by a decided vote Mr..
Abram Fulkerson, of Washington, Of
fered the same amendment that Sena-
tor Rhea offered in the Senate, which
in substance, is that the road shall be
forced to go by Bristol
Mr.. Cardwell, of Hanover vigorous
ly opposed the amendment offered by
Mr.. Fulkers0n, and referred to the fact
that the men who are asking for these
privileges have ten million dollars to
be used in the construction Of the road
and morever that the company now
proposes to open up a country nowen-
tirely undeveloped. He called atten.
ton to the great good that would re-
bound to the counties of Wise, Scott
Dickinson and Russell by the con
struction of the road, and referred tc
the fact that charter had been grant
ed to another company to build road
in that section Virginia, and that Mr.
Abram Fulkerson was named as an
incorporation.
Mr.. Johnson, of Norfolk, opposed
the bill on the grounds that the roaC
would draw the resources of the Stat'
north and south instead oftowards tn,
east.
Mr.. Franklin;ot Appomattox, favor
ed the bill and held that it was bac
policy for the State to oppose tn
building of roads north and south.
Mr.. Abram Fulkerson explaine
that the way his name got in anon
the incorporators in the charter refe
red to by Mr.. Cardwell was that til
bill had only four iucorporators in
and his name was put there witho,
his consent to make five.
The bin was then passed by recor
ed vote of 67 to Z; those yotir
against being Messrs Bohannon,
Middlesex Cherry and johnson,
Washington Hoge, OF Patrick Ma
tin, of Norfolk county, and Roberts,
Smyth.
The bill will be taken to the Cover
or to-day. Col Johnson, the genel
manager ofthe company, says tn
the building OF the road means "B
mingham for Virginia"

ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The same company will begin an
electric light plant next week, "Edi-
son system" and also telephone ex-
change.
Mr.. c. X. McCallum, to whose energy
and pluck JohnsonCity owes no little
is at the head OF all these enterprises
and there is no doubt about every
thing being carried out just as repre-
sented.
STEEL WORKS AND BLAST FURNACES
The ground for five large blast fur
naces and Il Bessemer Steel works is
bought and these works will be built
to begin operation as soon as the great

to assure the works reliable sup.
ply of coke
1t is whispered that great iron works
will also be built in the Western coun
ties Of Virginia, near the coal fields
and that a new Chattanooga vii
spring up in that section, and a new
Pittsburg be built here.

The First Interstate Commerce
Decision.

The Interstate Commerse Commits
sionors rendered their first decision
yesterday. 1t is one that involves a
principle of far reaching importance
and establishes a precedent that is not
likely to escape question or criticism.
The commissioner have granted
the petition of the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association for a tenn
porary suspension in its favor OF the
"loug and short haul" clause OF the
law, This association comprises nu-
merous common carriers whose opera
tions cover a vast region. The law is
suspended, therefore, not in the case
of one corporation merely, but many
lines of traffic. 1t is suspended not
after but before investigation-"until
the commission can make complete
examination OF the matter" For
such examination future hearings are
to be had by the commission in sever
al Southern cities.
1t is a serious question whether the
commission has not exceeded or
strained its authority in thus suspend
ing the fourth section of the law. The
first part OF that section declares that
it shall be unlawful for any common
carrier to make a greater aggregate
charge for a short than for, long haul
under the circumstances prescribed.
The law is now in operation. All
such charges contrary toits provisions
are prohibited and unlawful. The
Commissioners have no power to sus-
pend its operation generally nor spe-
officially, except as prescribed by the
law itself Their only authority on
this point is conferred by the proviso
with which the fourth section closes -
That upon application to the com
mission appointed under the provis'
ions of this act such common carrier
may, in special cases after investi
CATION by the commission, be author
lied to charge less for longer than fol
shorter distances for the transportation
of passengers or property; and thu
commission may from time to tim'
prescribe the extent to which sucl
designated common carrier may b,
relieved from the operation of thi
section of the act
That authorizes the Commissioner
to relieve a complaining compan,
from the operation Of the law only I'll
special cases" and cater investigation
by the Commissioners. 1t does nc
empower them to make general SUI
pension or even suspension in a spec
ial case until an investigation ha
been had and the justice Of the con
plaint established.
1t may be that investigation wi
: show the Southern Railway petition
', ers entitled to relief But that is
fact to be shown before the operatio
/ of the law can be rightly stayed {
S modified in their favor.
